This unique place offers a panoramic view of the landscape between the rivers Schelde en Leie.

Between half august and half september, there are usually Bruine Kiekendief , Wespendief , Slechtvalk , Torenvalk and Buizerd around. Good chance to see Blauwe Kiekendief and Rode Wouw as well. It has become a famous spot to see Morinelplevier , both in autumn and spring. Tapuit ,Paapje and Duinpieper are also regular in migration periods. In autumnmornings, there are usually birdwatchers on the platform. From this platform, already 193 species have been seen in the last 15 years, not bad for an inland spot. There is always the possibility something unexpected turns up here.
